Category:Expository Characters

Throughout the series, in wake of the player character never verbalizing, expository characters are utilized in order to provide the player information vital to the game or story. These characters are not omniscient, and consistently show bias in narrative, as well of omission of information, while their role in the story remains as either entirely or mostly for acting as a guide to the player and plot device. These expository characters often are unseen voices that speak to the player through each night, though that is not always the case. None of the games in the series are entirely deprived of an expository character, but one game, namely Five Nights at Freddy's 4, only provides exposition through text and visual-based cutscenes after the end of each night.
